they ended up revealing like 50 of the 90ish gen 7 monsters before it came out

They also revealed almost all the Gen 6 mons pre-release. I think it was like 60/70 of the normal mons and all the megas except for Tyranitar and like two others.

Yeah I was in the IRC when it was going on and everyone was trying to figure out how the gently caress Sliggoo evolved. That was really fun

That kinda bullshit sucks, but it's so much fun for the days before launch when people are trying to figure it out with no help.

We learned about Mega-Tyranitar when the dude posted a picture of its balloon from Hyper Training which was kinda cool.

I also remember everyone's visceral confusion at Barbaracle.

That sure took a while. Shiny Necrozma is still unobtainable normally right?

Also those shinies are hideous.

I'll be doing my usual this time.

Hopefully I don't forget to post it this time as well :sweatdrop:

Pokemon Masters is starting to go live for Android phones.

It's a mobile game where you collect the trainers instead of Pokemon.

It’s live on iOS now too, my phone just downloaded it.

Should we start fearing that, galarian formes excluded, we get like 50-60 new pokemon?

It's in line with XY and SM focusing on a smaller number of Pokemon. I think SM only had 80ish new ones, not counting Alola forms.

Now we're at the part of Masters that they'll nerf, I'm sure. The Very Hard co-op missions require perfect coordination with random strangers, and it is a real pain, hope you get the strongest pairs in the game, because you won't beat them otherwise.

Starter evos tend to be revealed late. Sun and Moon released November 18th and we got middle stage revealed on October 4th with final stages on October 27th

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?


Still addicting as ever, but I think the reason it (the pkm tcg game boy sequel) wasn't released outside japan is that, as far as I can tell, it features no pokemon beyond the original 151, despite coming out over a year after gold and silver, and right on the heels of the GBA.

It's fun reassessing the cards with the benefit of years of playing MtG, even if not everything carries over (so much RNG). Like why wouldn't every deck run 4x Bill?



Also this is the game that apparently introduced B-button sprinting to the franchise.

e:Nintendo should've brought this over for a virtual console release, when they re-released the original for 3DS.

Does the Pokemon tcg have formats or anything, like can Bill still be used a tournament legal deck today?

I searched Pokemon tcg banlist and it seems there is one but it's a lot shorter than I'd have imagined and only has things like a Unown thats effect is you win the game.

As far as I'm aware Pokemon TCG sets rotate out every season. This means that only fairly recent cards can be played in a tournament, so unless he's be rereleased you can't use ye olde Base Set Bill.

None of the teams I've seen have kept the PC in their party once they got more than two other trainers

Course, I'm sure the game's gonna force you to use them at points, so not using them is only going to hurt you

In general avatar characters in gacha games feel odd, but the structure of Masters makes it feel moreso. You only get 3 team slots, so why waste one on Random Jobber? And in a game where you get one move of one type, you should at least be able to pick that type.

What I'm saying is the avatar should've had Silvally.
